Dr Ben Cave's memoir about his career in forensic psychiatry continues as he recalls a patient suffering from persistent delusions. He also reflects on his days as a student and getting into a lather over his final exams. Adrian Scarborough reads.

In What We Fear Most Dr Ben Cave reflects on his decades on the frontline of forensic psychiatry where he has seen the extremes of mental illness. He tells the human stories behind the headlines and introduces us to some of the people he has treated. Fear, violence, and sadness but most of all humanity are the hallmarks of each. What emerges is compassion, understanding and for many of his patients, hope and the potential for a brighter future. We also discover how Cave has been shaped by all the many cases that have been his life's work.
